Hub 3.0 Red light

Hi!

My Hub 3.0 has been showing a stable red power light for a little over a week now where normally it would be a slightly white/pinkish color. 

My broadband is working fine without any issues.

There has been no change in the HUB's location and it does not feel warmer than usual to indicate overheating. 

I have tried a 45-second pin reset along with checking the HUB settings page to verify it was in Router mode and not Modem but the light remains red.

Is this a cause for concern? Or could it be an issue with the actual LED? The light has never appeared white even when installed last year and was more of a pink color.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Does it change to a different colour if you put it into modem mode ?

Hi John, thanks for the reply!

I just switched the hub from router to modem and back again using the settings page and could not see a difference in color on the power light between the two modes after each reboot.

Thanks,

Jon.

The technician will confirm during their visit if any of these instances apply, and if so, a £25 charge will be applied to your account.
